There are two kinds of strong people. They of course come in many different shapes and colours but they have a underlining thread that is common in all.

There are the ones who are strong and make you feel weak because of it, and there are the ones who are strong and make you feel supported because of it.

The difference in action can be minuscule sometimes, but the effects are astronomical.

I wouldn't consider myself a weak or strong person, but I have come into contact with both types of strong people.
One made me feel guilty for my weaknesses and while I did work harder it was because I feared disapproval more then anything else. I felt inadequate.
The other encouraged me and although no exact words were exchanged I did not feel that I was being compared to or measured by anyones standards.

Both led by example, both were hard workers, both are people that I like.
But the feeling I came away with at the end of the day was as different as night and day.

It made me want to be more careful with how I act around those who are “weaker” or “slower” then me.
